Welcome to Laser Pointer Forums! If you are looking for a laser pointer or want to compare different laser pointer companies, you may want to check out the LPF Laser Pointer Company Database. The link will open in a new window for your convenience.

You won't really see that huge of a difference between the greenie you have now, and two or even 300mW.

532nm lasers are dpss, meaning you're dealing with modules, and the better modules from say o-like go up to only 200mW, (usually 160-180mW after IR).

Modules over 200mW are quite a bit more expensive, so you would be better off grabbing something from lazerer, or o-like, or rayfoss in the power range you're looking for, and then if you want, have someone transplant the module into a different host. Idk why you would want to do that if you like the host initially, but it would be interesting

Btw, on your laser, you can remove the waterproofing lens for a slight boost in power (very slight) and better dot profile. I wouldn't do that though.

Edit: Personally when I'm deciding which laser to stick in my pocket... instead of the 550mW cannon I end up going with a small 70mW greenie. If I want to point at something, or pop a balloon it's enough

ok thx for your input. I would like a laser with a bit more power not really for taking out but for burning. I don't really care if someone makes it or if i buy it off someone so if u come into a 200mw to 300mw greenie you don't need at june let me know i'll have around 100 to 125 bucks

Obviously you'd probably need to upgrade the goggles you have (not sure what kind you have now but for 1W you need at least OD 2) but aside from that, you can easily build a 445nm laser yourself for ~$100 or buy one here for a bit more.

well i'm not ready to buy at this moment considering i don't have any more money to spend on lasers. i should be able to get some money for my b-day but not absolutely sure how much i'm going to be getting. So this was a thread basically for future reference.
